All right ladies, a Magenta Costume is another choice of Rocky Horror character costume for you, one that we’ll talk about right now. So, just who is Magenta and just what is really needed to wear a Magenta costume for Halloween?

Well, for one thing Magenta is Riff Raff’s sister in the story as well as the maid for for Frankie’s mansion. She is just one of the many female characters found in the Rocky Horror universe and is well known for her french maid look.

And as an aside, the lady who portrayed Magenta in the original film also is the “owner” of the iconic lips seen lip synching at the beginning of the Rocky Horror film.

Anyway… so let’s talk about Magenta’s costume much more in depth. First of all, I don’t think that you could miss that frizzy permed red hair if you were blind. And that is definitely one of the main details that everyone remembers about Magenta – her crazy hairdo.

So make sure your hair is just right otherwise as you’re putting your costume together you’ll just be a maid – and not Magenta! And that’s not the look we’re going for here. We want to be Magenta!

Next, is Magenta’s famous french maid outfit. Her maid costume was chosen, for one thing, to give her character more purpose throughout the story.

And as french maid costumes go it’s pretty much what you’d envision in your dreams so long as you can find a black maid outfit with white collar and a white apron with a dainty little white fabric hat you’ll be good to go.

Lastly, you’ll need to lighten your face with white makeup and add some red lipstick and dark, dark eyeshadow to complete your makeup. And don’t forget to wear a pair of sexy and sassy black mini boots and, Voila!, you’re now Magenta. Your transformation from you to her only needed one main ingredient – a great Magenta costume!

Ladies, the Columbia Costume is just one of the best things about the Rocky Horror Picture Show, besides being a really outrageous movie, a fun play, and an all around great time. And it’s still true that regular people often dress up like many of the characters that appear in the movie – like Columbia in her brightly colored tap shoes, Magenta, Janet or any of the other wacky RHPS characters.

Yeah, you heard that right! Not only do you get to watch Rocky Horror but you get to actively participate too! You could never have a more fun night if you were looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.

So let’s take a moment to discuss just one of the Rocky Horror characters right now that you might want to re-enact. Have you ever thought about wearing a Columbia costume?

The character Columbia wears many different costumes throughout the Rocky Horror play or movie. And this little red haired vixen is probably best known for her gold sequined costume, big clunky Mary Jane shoes and her tap dance number during the Time Warp dance. And this is the main Columbia costume that most people choose to wear because it is so well known by all the  Rocky Horror fans.

Does she wear anything else during the movie? Yeah, and if you want something less well known Columbia also wears scrubs in the laboratory scene and later on is seen in pajamas and Mickey Mouse ears. Columbia can also be seen wearing a corset and stockings later on.

So, if you decide to dress up in a Columbia costume for Halloween, don’t forget the short red wig,  bright red lipstick, and bright streak of blush right across her face – at least now you know that you have several choices of things to wear and to decide from.

Rocky Horror provides you an opportunity to be a part of one of the best group costumes on the planet – now you just have to choose which one in the group you want to be. And if it’s a Columbia Halloween costume that you’re going to wear, more power to you showing off those fabulous legs and fancy dancing moves. So, have fun “doin’ the Time Warp again” this Halloween!
